(i) Currently, there is no experience in using the 600/300 tablet to provide 300/150 twice-daily dosing. Consider halving the
600/300 tablet and giving one half tablet twice daily, or give one tablet daily. Adult ABC/3TC FDC tablets are not scored; a
tablet cutter would be required to divide these tablets.
